Yeah I would think with all that sugar. Drinking that at night and no exercise to burn it off. Unless you're an alcoholic drinking margaritas is for breakfast lol.0

Hard alcohol....vodka, Scotch, rum, bourbon, etc. Either have it straight, or have it with a zero calorie mixer. Most are about 70 calories per one ounce shot.
Stay away from liqueurs (things like Bailey's & Sambuca are sugary and high calorie). Avoid juices as mixers for the same reason.
If you must have beer, go with Guinness...only 125 calories and MUCH better than any of those horrendous light beers. Otra Vez is just a few calories more if you prefer gose.

Spirits as above with diet mixers.
And a bottle of wine is "only" 500 calories. Not that I ever drink a bottle of wine in one sitting or anything........21 -
Michelob Ultra light beer - super low in cal and carbs! About 95cals for 12oz and 2g carbs.4

No alcohol is best for a diet. Alcohol has 7 calories per gram and NO nutritional value.3

^^This - totally.
Alcohol is pretty much the most calorie dense thing to consume and provides your body with nothing else besides those calories.
If you are trying to lose weight, the whole point is to consume less calories. Alcoholic drinks are the least effective way to achieve this.
The only truth is that some types are far worse than others, but there is no such thing as a good alcoholic drink for dieting.

Sweet Tea Vodka with either water or unsweetened iced tea and a lemon wedge. Keeps the hangover away too! Haha1

He is not asking for a alcohol diet. He is asking for alcohol on diet. You don't have to cut everything while you diet. A drink here and there never got anybody fat.20 -
Gin.
Gin is good when not dieting, too.
I like gin...23 -
red wine + cola0

Gotta love an ice cold beer! I just be sure to make room for it in my calorie count. That "allotment" will vary depending on what type of beer I'm in the mood for0

Let's not forget the food consumed after a few drinks to soak up the alcohol. That'll add a few hundred more kcal into the mix.3 -
The misconception that alcohol makes you fat is incorrect. The fat guy with the beer belly at the end of the bar is fat not because he drinks beer but because he eats greesey bar food and doesn't exercise. If you watch your diet and exercise then getting tipsy on a Friday or Saturday won't turn you into a fat flob the next day.15

Of course you can drink and still lose weight/diet.
All you have to do it account for those calories in your total allowance and make room for them. However, the more you drink the more room you'll need....so you may not be able to get wasted every night and still lose weight. (At least not very healthy).
I choose to not include several things in my diet in order to be able to have a drink. At the end of the day I enjoy a drink more than I enjoy the things I exclude.
Neat spirits are the least calorific but be careful on portion control. A pint of Whisky is 1120 calories after all.....1 -

Youve been doing nights out all wrong.
Its quite possible to go out for a couple drinks and a dance and not eat foods to soak it up
As others have stated you can plan for a night out, food included and still not go over your weekly calories5
